A member asked:
I asked about treatment for bv because i have had sllergic reactions to boyh oral and topical treatments. do i have any other options?

Bacterial Vaginosis: Bacterial vaginosis is treated with oral Metronidazole or oral Clindamycin for 7 days. I suspect that if you are having a bone fide allergic reaction that you could be premedicated with Prednisone and or benadryl (diphenhydramine). Allergic reactions can be life threatening consider seeing an allergist.
